Question

Robert scored 60 out of 80 points in a game. Write Robert’s score as a percentage.

Answer 1

To calculate Robert's score as a percentage, you can use the formula:

\[
\text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{\text{Score}}{\text{Total Points}} \right) \times 100
\]

In this case, Robert's score is 60 and the total points are 80. Plugging in the values:

\[
\text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{60}{80} \right) \times 100
\]

Calculating the fraction:

\[
\frac{60}{80} = 0.75
\]

Now multiply by 100:

\[
0.75 \times 100 = 75
\]

Therefore, Robert's score as a percentage is **75%**.
